Middle East and Africa Soy Protein Ingredients Market Overview

Soy protein is obtained from soybeans after the extraction of oil. Soy Protein is used for the fortification of many food products and as an alternative to dairy protein. It is extensively used as a meat extender and as a quality substitute for meat. This legume is one of the few plant proteins that contains all eight essential amino acids. High functional properties of the soy protein ingredient coupled with eco-friendly and natural health benefits are driving the demand of soy protein during the forecast period. Moreover, it is cost-effective than animal protein and reflects the same protein content. This is expected to enhance the adoption of soy protein across various end-use industries resulting in increasing the shelf life of processed food, so it is also considered as the most sustainable protein ingredient.
